Truly the light is sweet, and a pleasant thing it is for the eyes to behold the sun:
A verse can bring hope. Share this message of faith with someone you care about.
Verse 7 is found in chapter 11 of Ecclesiastes. Light is pleasant and life is valuable, but dark days will inevitably come. The young person is encouraged to rejoice and walk according to the desires of the heart, but is immediately reminded that God will judge every action. Joy is not presented as absolute moral freedom. Youth should be enjoyed while simultaneously recognizing the brevity of life and responsibility before God.

La lumière est douce, et il est agréable aux yeux de voir le soleil.
Ben è la luce cosa dolce, e il vedere il sole cosa piacevole agli occhi.
Certamente suave é a luz, e agradável é aos olhos ver o sol.
光是甜美的,眼見日光是多麼好啊!
